BC Khimki Moscow – Valencia BC 13/10: Euroleague basketball Start 19:00

Khimki starts the new season with new coach in Bartzokas and that seems to be a perfect fit as they impressed this early in the season. One thing though, forget all about the run and gun Khimki that have been previous seasons. Khimki under Barzokas is complete different team. Defensive strong, controlled attacks and clear idea how to play in both defence and attack. They are facing Valencia who is Top 3 defensive team in ACB and a team who already played several low scored matches. They are coming to Russia without three important players San Emeterio, Diot, Williams. So their attack will struggle a bit at the same time be assured they have 12 good players in the squad and they have played without this players three straight games. Valencia have 8 straight wins among 5 straight official victories. This will be hard fought and tactical encounter with two excellent teams, with two stellar coaches and with two excellent squads.
